My head throbs and my throat is dry as sandpaper when I wake up. I'm lying on my stomach and my cheek is resting on something smooth and cold. I can feel the sun on my body and slowly I try to blink my eyes open. The suns glaring light makes my head throb even more, but I still open my eyes so I can make out my surroundings. The first thing I see, is water. I let my eyes follow the gentle movements in the water made by the breeze till it hits a wall made of tiles. It's a pool. I'm lying at the edge of a pool. I move my hands up to rest under my shoulders and try to push myself up to a sitting position. The small movement makes me groan and nauseate, but I manage to get myself up on my knees. Looking around I get a better view of my surroundings. The pool is located in the backyard of a very fancy house with white walls and a roof made of black tiles. Looking down I see the tiles my cheek had been resting on marked by a small puddle of drool. I quickly wipes my mouth to remove the remaining evidence of my sleep . Noticing that my legs are bare except from the black heels I'm wearing, I make a quick scan of my body. I'm wearing nothing but my underwear and the heels. 

"This is just great" I say to myself and throw my arms up in the air before letting them fall heavily down again. Surrounding the backyard and the house is a fence. Above I see the apartment building. And not just any apartment building, my apartment building. I heave a sigh of relief.  At least I will be able to find my way home.  With renewed strength and hope, I try to stand. Before I even get half way up, I lose my balance. All I manage to think before I fall is Fuck. I see the cloudless sky before my back hits the water and surrounds me. Well, at least I'm awake now. When my feet hit the bottom I push myself back up to the surface. Breaking through the surface of the cold water, I draw in a breath and starts laughing. Not that there are anything funny about the situation I gotten myself into. It's more like a WTF is happening kind of laugh. What stops my laugh, is when I swallow some water and have to cough instead. Getting hold of myself I start to swim for the edge of the pool. Pulling myself up and sitting hugging my knees against my chest, I realize, I have no idea, how I have ended up at the edge of my neighbors pool.

"What happened last night?" I ask myself quietly.
